I am writing this letter with a very gentle Newfoundland lying next to me. I have been thinking about Rosie the Newfoundland who was killed by your police officers in November.

After reading all the stories about what happened I can not believe that these officers went into a secured backyard to gun down this dog who was scared and just trying to get away from the hurt she had felt.

Yes, I ask why did you not call animal control? Did you try to find the owner? I live in Michigan and I can tell you that this story has gone worldwide.

I only hope Rosie's death doesn't go unanswered. I hope those police officers are held accountable for their actions. I know this will not bring Rosie back but it may bring some peace to this poor family.
